Built by Ken Dowd with lighting engineered and installed by your friends at the Nautilus Drydocks, this model of Disney's iconic submarine is undoubtedly the most amazing iteration of this boat you are ever going to see.
Every passage. Every pipe. Every hatch and doorway. Every imaginable detail right down to kitchen knives and crates. All of this has been painstakingly built by hand over the course of decades, built not just for show, but with actual engineering solutions in mind.
Take a tour of this amazing model. If you want far more details on a room by room basis, narrated by the artist builder himself, be sure to check out the in-depth video on my channel here:

This model belongs in a museum. Actually, the Smithsonian is where it belongs. The Nautilus deserves a spot just like the Enterprise got one. Beautiful work and most impressive. The lighting is awesome!

@HappyHands. Год назад

with so many hidden features it would be a challenge to display properly

@roomtemp6374 Год назад

@@HappyHands. For a museum display, some strategically placed miniature cameras (fiber optic) output to an array of monitors mounted on the display case would be cool. So it looks a bit like an exploded diagram, with detail windows for the sub assemblies. Or if you wanted it more 'interactive' (for the chirren), output to one big monitor with a row of labeled buttons to select views. Set it to rotate between views if no button is pressed for a few minutes. A little external led indicator that shines like a spot light on the selected section might be a nice touch too. It's really a fantastic model though. I hope lots of people get a chance to appreciate it.

As Indiana Jones once said: this belongs in a museum! Seriously tho, his creation is on another level completely. Unbelievable

Freaking amazing!! Thanks for letting us see a true masterpiece. Now link up with TAKOM and get a truly affordable kit in (plastic) 1/72 or even 1/48. I'll be the very first in line, guaranteed!!

Definitely belongs in a museum......would be really awesome to piece together a full walk through with pictures or a mini camera

@nagjrcjasonbower Год назад

Epically stunning and so faithful to the film… I think Verne himself would approve!!! I read the novel and (spoiler ALERT) “Mysterious Island” back in middle school so many times over again… It kinda reminded me of Star Trek (TOS and TNG) and Gene Roddenberry. I never read the Horatio Hornblower series (which Roddenberry acknowledged was an inspiration for Star Trek), but I’d imagine Verne and Sir Doyle were an inspiration….

It's models like this that make me believe a life-sized functional Nautilus can actually be built.

@mikalmos369 Год назад

😲 I'm speechless... and I'm going to go watch Disney's 20000 Leagues Under the Sea right now. The last time I watched it was about 25 years ago when I first started working at the Living Seas at Epcot before the other Nemo invaded LOL you know the small orange one... anyway there were some pieces either replicas or actual I don't remember for sure from the original production on display in entrance sort of what we used to call the eel switchbacks. I wouldn't watched the film the night of my first day working there. Thanks for showcasing this incredible piece of artwork so well. I'll so you now have a new subscriber because of it! Glad the RU-vid algorithm brought me your way.

@tomkroebel4936 Год назад

It looks absolutely breathtaking and you did an awesome job! One humble suggestion: Wouldn't it look great if the lights in the reactor were flickering like they did in the movie to simulate fire?

@RCSubGuy Год назад

I completely agree, but much of the model was built over a decade ago, and it was not envisioned to be lit at all at that time. We had to make concessions, but certainly just minor ones, when we finally did light it up.

@Diver6106 Год назад

FANTASTIC model, any museum would be proud to display this in the future!!!!! But, I do recomend you change the Map Room to Chart Room, and add a way to close and dog down the Ventral Hatch from the inside, so the pressure in the chamber can be equalized. And one minor point from the film when Nemo say "breakout a new shaft". How would one be moved that into position on your model? He should have really said 'breakout a new bearing' which would have been easier, or 'shore up the beam to free the shaft'. I very much look forward to seeing it in a museum sometime... and I've been to South Padre many times for Spring Break, TA&MU '74.

@RCSubGuy Год назад

Great point on the hatch in the dive chamber. I'll add that to my model. I have an 11ft hull that I will be creating my own version of an interior layout for. If I recall correctly, spare shafts were stored on the walls of the pump room.

@danielramsey1959 Год назад

Makes you kinda wonder if a working full sized replica could be built.

@Rippafratta Год назад

It could be built, but it would float like a rubber duck. As cramped as it looks, there is too much air-filled space inside the sub. Maybe if you have plutonium as ballast it could dive 😂. What Verne envisioned was much more realistic and workable, but boring as hell from the outside, so Harper Goff’s design is absolutely on point for what it tells. The model is a beautiful build of a beautiful design.

@jandoerlidoe3412 Год назад

wonderful, but i think that the "pump room " is actual the engine room....

@MsAston007 Год назад

Six digit??!! I’d say eight digits. This is astonishing! If I had built this model I would’nt sell it for all the money in the world.

@CIS101 Год назад

Recently saw another video about this model. Amazing. What a labor of love. I commented on another video that exterior dimensions of the Nautilus seem too small for what's supposed to fit inside. Are we seeing evidence of that here ? For example the engine room (pump room ?) seems too far astern, and too small. Aft of the pump room appears to be the body of a steam turbine which would make sense if the pump room is not the engine room as I thought. But how does that compare to the movie ? Unless I missed something, there does not seem to be enough crew quarters, and I'm not seeing quarters for Prof. Aronnax nor Ned Land etc. The grand salon takes up a lot of space, and I thought there was only one large view port.

@RCSubGuy Год назад

So.. after your five minute assessment, you feel you identified issues with a model that a massive fan and obsessive builder took 23 years to figure out? This (these) builds are an exercise in compromise. The boat doesn't exist in real life, so there is no real life comparison to base things off of.

@CIS101 Год назад

@@RCSubGuy How do you know it was five minutes ? My comments, and questions were reasonable, and polite so what's your problem ?

@RCSubGuy Год назад

@CIS101 my apologies if you were offended. It felt like you were being critical of Ken's work. There are reasons for each and every decision that was made. Your comment like not knowing Nautilus had two salon windows simply led me to believe you'd posted a half baked comment. I apologize if that wasn't the case

@CIS101 Год назад

@@RCSubGuy Thank you. Not at all - he did a fantastic job. I used to be a pretty good model builder, but no more. I'm a bit confused regarding the Salon windows, and I don't have access to the movie just now. Most fans would know that the Disney sub is not accurate to the novel, but I feel Disney did a great job. For example the suggestion of nuclear power was a stroke of genius, and a sign of the times in 1954.

@RCSubGuy Год назад

@@CIS101 It's an iconic piece of movie history, for sure. A gorgeous design from the mind of Harper Goff. Having built dozens of these submarines for practical application as RC models, I can say that despite being a fictional vessel, it works quite well in the real world, even if the interior sets don't match up to and cannot fit in the exterior of the boat. I'm working on my own 3D files for the entire interior. It's a massive challenge, and compromises are necessary.
